Chapter 3: déjà vu

Being in the arena on a Monday night was very much missed making it easy for Cody to be happy about being there for the Slammy. Though he wasn't up for a Slammy it felt good to be there. He pulled his black rental car slowly into the parking spot in a fenced off area behind the arena. Damn it! He thought realizing he had been late. "Hey Cody!" said Ted with a wide smile as Cody entered the corridors. Cody took the smile, and gave a friendly one back. Ted gave Cody a hand to shake - pulling him into a hug. "its been awhile," Ted said still smiling as the two walked towards the locker room. "I know" Cody said. "I herd about you new story line - DASHING Cody Rhodes" The million dollar mans son laughed. "yeah Im confused on how when legacy broke up, you got Maryse and I got myself!" Cody said letting out a chuckle. "Well I mean look at me" he said standing strait up showing of his muscles through his tight black t-shirt. "I just look like a guy who would be with one of the hottest divas - It was only the smartest choice by wwe's creative team." He said egotistically, but only joking. Cody just rolled his eyes and opened the door to the men's locker room.

"so what have you been up to on smack down?" Ted asked sitting down on the chair placed in front of the TV in the corner of the locker room. Cody just shrugged. He wasn't about to tell Ted, who is still really close to Randy, about his recent encounters with Kelly. The blonde was still on his mind from the other night but he refused to talk to Ted about it - friend or not. "Not much, Randy said keep my eyes on the prize so I've just been focusing on getting better" Cody said. Ted didn't have a replied. "well I got to go make sure 'Ryse is ready. We have a match tonight" Cody raised and eyebrow at his friend. " 'Ryse?" "yeah, Maryse" Ted hesitated. "Nicknames?" Cody smirked. "It aint like that," Ted said automatically knowing what Cody was referring to. "since working together on screen - we've became good friends." He said walking to the door. "right" Cody smirked again before being left alone in the locker room.

Now that Cody was left alone in the locker room he couldn't help but wonder how Kelly was doing. Being back to the place were she had been given a reputation of a 'slut' or even a 'home wrecker'. She couldn't possibly be happy being here tonight, especially with Randy in the same building. With out another thought he decided to turn on the TV and watch raw from a fans point of view before his match. Ironically Kelly appeared on the TV - presenting a Slammy.

Really?

Cody grunted and sighed. He watched as CM punk, or Phil Brookes was pronounced the winner. Cody rolled his eyes at punk who ran up to the podium pleased with his win. Just before Cody was ready to turn away from the TV something caught his eye. He watched as Phil greeted Kelly, lifting her in the air with a huge hug. His eyes widened. He never knew Kelly and Phil were close. Not that he really cared, and maybe he was jumping to conclusion he couldn't help but let his mind wonder.

Only a minute after Phil's speech ended he could here laughter outside the door. Has he herd it getting closer he decided to enter the hallway. With one tug on the door, it flew open, exposing Kelly and Phil walking happily down the hallway. He watched her giggle at what he said, though he didn't know what he said cause the two were already half way down the hallway. It was a waste of his time anyway to even wonder. "told you," Cody herd a familiar voice. He felt a hand touch his shoulder and he jumped with the feel of it. When he turned to his right he saw Randy standing next to him looking in the same direction he was. "what?" he said. Randy looked at him and scowled. "She's already with Phil, wasn't hard for her to move on from Chris" Randy said trying to put his words together. Cody could feel the rage of jealousy fill his body. Maybe he was starting to have feelings for the blonde. After all that's the only person he could think about lately. He hated the thought of like her. "how do you know she's 'with him'" Cody questioned pulling his attention off his thoughts and back on to Randy. Randy shrugged. "its obvious." It got quite between the two friends again. "well anyway, after raw me and Ted are gunna go to dinner, have a few drinks. Want to come?" he said. Cody wasn't in much of the mood to hang out with Randy, even if it had been his best friend. He was certainly afraid that the topic of their conversation some how would end up being Kelly. "Nah, I got a match. I rather just head back to my hotel when Im done here." Cody said, turning down his offer. "Kay well Im heading to catering, ill catch you later." Mr. RKO said turning the other way. With out another word or thought Cody began to get prepared for his match.

Cody stepped out of the elevator looking forward to going into his hotel room and sleeping after a tiring match and long ride back. His hopes of just simply walking to his room and falling a sleep were soon broken when he saw Kelly struggling with her bags and trying to find her room key. He sighed and grunted. He walked up to her quickening his pase. "need help?" he said watching her continue to struggle on holding everything in one hand. "I got everything just find obviously" she said stubbornly. Cody ignored her comment and took two bags freeing her one hand. She glared. "Im only trying to be nice" he hesitated. It seemed as if Kelly felt slightly bad about being so mean to him when he was right - he was only trying to help.

"well thank you but I didn't need you help." she said pulling the bag away from him and over her shoulder once she had found her room key. "Are you still stuck on what I said the first night you were on smack down? I said I was just joking, seriously" he said. He was a little shocked that had came out, he was only thinking it at first. "Im over that, but like I said last week.." she was cut off by Cody. "You obviously don't know me as much as you think Kelly, Im not like Randy and I don't think like him or even act like him like you must think." he said with more of a harsh tone. She rolled her eyes. "Well thank you for assuring me that, but I cant stand to think of what you must think about me. Do you think your going to get me in bed with you just because of what Randy told you?" she scowled. "Why does everything have to do with Randy? Im not even trying to sleep with you! I already know your with Phil." he said - letting the last line of what he said almost fall out of his mouth. "Phil?" she said quietly. "what are you talking about?" she continued, "Phil is my best friend, I haven't seen him since my ECW days that's all."

Cody looked at her confused. He probably shouldn't have jumped to conclusion, or let Randy convince him anything about her. "oh" he said simply. "God rumors spread so fast" the Florida native said, her voice breaking and cracking. He could tell her upset her. "That's why I wished you'd listen to me when I tell you I care - instead of judging me based off of Randy" he said looking at his feet. Kelly brought herself to smile. "well I guess I believe you, for now but Im going to bed." she said getting a grip on the door handle. He watched the diva struggle, pulling her bags in the door. She turned to him with one more smile before shutting the door.

He felt a slight bit of déjà vu. There he stood standing outside of Kelly's hotel room, thinking about what she had said-just like last week.
